The Sanford School Department is excited to welcome new students to the "Kindergarten Trail" - a series of fun and informative events designed to make each child's transition to kindergarten smooth and enjoyable. The journey begins with a District-Wide Kindergarten Registration Night on Wednesday, February 26th, 2025, from 3:30 - 6:00 PM at Sanford Pride Elementary School (708 Main Street). At this event, families will have the opportunity to meet staff from all Sanford elementary schools, ask questions, and complete registration paperwork. Many local community providers will be present with informational tables to support families during this transition. Current Pre-K students do not need to register, but are welcome to attend. To be eligible for kindergarten, children must be 5 years old by October 15th, 2025. Parents and guardians should bring their child's birth certificate, proof of residency (utility bill, mortgage bill etc), immunization records, and a parent/guardian photo ID to registration. Following registration, families will be invited to participate in several welcoming events throughout the spring and summer. On April 3rd, families can attend Kindergarten Exploration to visit classrooms and meet teachers. Then on May 8th, children can participate in the Playground Exploration event, meeting future classmates and enjoying a popsicle. During the summer, families will schedule a kindergarten screening appointment where vision, hearing, and developmental milestones will be assessed. The journey culminates with an orientation and classroom open house before the first day of school.

We are excited to share information with you regarding the Sanford Public School Pre-Kindergarten (Pre-K) programs for the 2025-2026 school year. In September, we expect to continue offering full-day pre-k programming at Carl J. Lamb School, Margaret Chase Smith School, Sanford Pride Elementary School, Sanford-Springvale YMCA and Sanford Regional Technical Center. Sanford and Springvale families with children 4 years old on or before October 15, 2025 and not of kindergarten age are eligible. Children who are 5 years old by October 15th, 2025 and not enrolled in Sanford’s pre-k program can enroll in kindergarten by calling one of our elementary schools. The pre-k program is free and will include free breakfast, lunch and transportation. We anticipate 112 Pre-K slots will be available for the 2025-2026 school year. To provide equal opportunity for families to enroll their children, students will be chosen using a lottery system. Here is the link to the form that you will need to complete in order to be considered for admittance to our Pre-K program: https://rb.gy/hfjwl7. The lottery registration will close at the end of the day on Friday, March 15, 2025. If you have any questions about how to fill out the form, please contact our central office at 324-2810. Our goal is to make program notifications the week of April 1st. All students that are placed in a district Pre-K program will need to complete registration prior to Pre-K screening. Once all openings have been filled by lottery, the remaining names will be drawn to create a waiting list, should space become available. If you know of any families who may have an eligible student, please feel free to share this information. If you have any questions, please contact us at the Sanford School Department’s Central Office at 324-2810.
